Harold Hughes

CEO of NFNTE Capital, | Startup Advisor & Investor Hey folks! I'm Harold and I'm a serial Entrepreneur, investor, and community builder committed to helping early-stage startups turn social capital into strategic growth. Finding unique ways to bridge innovation, access, and impact, I started angel investing 7 years ago. My first check was in the now Jay-Z backed snack food company, Partake Foods. Since then, I've gone on to invest in companies like Liquid Death, Athletic Greens, Ledger, Chipper, Major League Pickleball, BRCĒ, Winx Health, and Broadway productions like The Wiz, Stereophonic, and Hell’s Kitchen. How I can help you on Hubble ✅ Go-To-Market & Business Development Strategy ✅ Fundraising & Investor Readiness ✅ Building with Social Capital ✅ Fractional COO Support ✅ Fractional Biz Dev Support ✅ Web3 Education & Blockchain Basics ✅ Community Building & Ecosystem Design Book a call to get strategic, practical advice from someone who’s built, backed, and supported startups at every stage—from idea to exit. Here are some tips for how to use time with me: 15-minute slot: Initial Intro. This is NOT a pitch meeting. Book this slot to get feedback on something specific, like a product feature. From there, we can book a more extended follow-up session. 30-minute slot: This is a standard meeting slot to review and get feedback on your business model, fundraising strategy, or business concept. 45-minute slot: View this as a work session. In 45 minutes, use this time to screenshare and expect collaboration on everything from pitch deck design, investor database planning, and more.
